A differerent way of cycling

Walking, running and cycling- the muscles of the legs are used. The rest of the body has only a supporting role. Sports like swimming, long distance skiing and rowing are recommended by sport doctors, because the muscles of the whole body are used. Nordic Walking became popular because it is a simple way of using the whole boby. Finding a way to make a bicycle with additional 'arm drive' was not so simple. There are patents from before 1900
